[El] Spatialite

+1, I would also be interested in having spatialite support

We already have a more recent version of sqlite in elgis-plus, since
it was required by QGIS:
http://elgis.argeo.org/repos/5/elgis-plus/SRPMS/repoview/sqlite.html

As usual, it would be better if we could use the one from base, so
that spatialite would not be in elgis-plus, but if it has to be, we
can use/update the existing sqlite package..
